I wouldn't want folks to think we're a jazz band as such because they'll expect elevator nice-ness... We're likely to be The Anti-Elevator Nice...

Parrot Polynesia - Shonen Knife

Wonder Wine - Shonen Knife

Splish Splash - Bobby Darin

As our guitarist is a huge Hendrix fan, and I'm currently introducing him to (and hopefully influencing him with) James Blood Ulmer and Marc Ribot, folks would probably have looked at us a bit funny if we'd been playing in the 1920s! Perhaps we should be Blues y Clawdd?

Go, Now! - Was not Was

I think we'll be Jazz Blues though! I did like the idea of vintage fag brands though to conjure up smokey clubs of yore, hence Craven Black Cat. Or The Gitanes.. Or The Gauloises. Or the Craven As. Or The Navy Cut. Or perhaps, The Roll Ups...

Pagan Lovesong - Virgin Prunes

I think I much prefer Jazz 'n'Dave 😁

That's why I suggested the JP4 after our guitarist... Twas his idea so can name it after me! At least one member has been in rehab though (not me!) if that helps...

Galloping Knob Rot - The Weeds

I've recently joined our old guitarist to form a new funky slightly jazzy blues band, we'll be doing mainly originals and so far have me on bass, Jonny on guitar and Chris on drums, and possible female singer if she thinks we're good enough (she's got a degree in music performance). So it's inevitable band name time. So far we've got: The LD7 (postcode!) The JP4 Craven Black Cat The Gitanes But we're not convinced. Suggestions for better names?

I felt that the house had seen better days, perhaps had regrets, could have done things differently. So here's a sort of urban tribute to Bill Laswell, featuring a fellow Badass Weed... And if poss, listen through decent speakers or 'phones if you want to actually hear the bass guitar! Bass is a Sandberg Bassic. Guitar is a Strat through Bias FX. Drums are built up using Ez Drummer sounds. Synths are AAS and Iris. Vox rolled in nectar Elements and Raum, and everything smothered in Ozone 9 and Neutron 3 with the occasional dollop of IHeartNY and Shadow Hills compression.

I travel - Simple Minds

Sandpaperback writer - B-tells

Grain-free Adolescence - X-Ray Spex

Curry be magic - Barry Manilow

Just say "FB Purity" 3 times and click your heels together.... Or better, look for the extensions button next to your browser address bar. On Edge it looks like a jigsaw piece. Then look up FB purity and follow the instructions...

Cheers! Just added it...

Du Has(s)t Mich - Rammstein

Some RockCandyFunkParty

Chocolate City - Parliament

But just found this vid of George getting them to Funk It Up, with Hillel (RIP!) and Cliff...

They've always had duff lyrics 😁 https://youtu.be/QUzCFEJh8-I (won't let me embed as vid is age restricted!) And don't even think about Sex Rap!

Funnily enough I've been deeply un-keen since Antwan The Swan started "singing". So basically Californiaction on... And I saw 'em at their first UK gig at the Clarendon in Hammersmith, home of the legendary Klubfoot. But still a fan of everything up to BSSM - even had a dodgy ciggy with Flea at an aftershow party at the Astoria where we discussed a mutual love of P-Funk.
